A Zambian man has taken his wife to court, seeking a divorce over a controversial photo involving American R&B star Chris Brown. The photo, taken during a “meet and greet” session at Brown’s recent concert in South Africa, shows the singer kissing the woman on her cheek.
The 42-year-old husband from Lusaka filed for divorce after his 34-year-old wife attended Chris Brown’s concert at FNB Stadium, where VIP fans had the opportunity to meet the artist, take photos, and create memorable interactions. The image, which has since gone viral on social media, sparked mixed reactions and reportedly caused a marital rift.
According to court documents, the husband claims the photograph was disrespectful and caused irreparable harm to their marriage. He described the image as “demeaning” and argued that his wife’s actions were inappropriate for a married woman. He stated, “My wife acted in a manner unbecoming of a married woman. This picture has embarrassed me publicly and caused emotional distress.”
The wife, however, defended herself, asserting that the kiss was not romantic but rather a lighthearted gesture during the event. She insisted that her actions should not be misinterpreted and that she never intended to disrespect her husband. She further argued that he was overreacting and using the incident to address deeper marital issues.
In her response, the wife explained that the meet-and-greet package offered fans a chance to interact with Chris Brown and that the photograph was part of the experience. She maintained that it was harmless and accused her husband of blowing the situation out of proportion.
The husband reportedly confronted his wife upon her return from South Africa, expressing his feelings of betrayal. However, she dismissed his concerns, saying the photo was merely part of the event and did not warrant such an extreme reaction.
The incident has sparked significant debate on social media. Some users sided with the husband, arguing that the photograph crossed boundaries for a married woman. Others defended the wife, emphasizing that the meet-and-greet was harmless and should not be a reason for divorce.
The case continues to attract attention, with many discussing broader themes of trust, boundaries, and marital expectations in the digital age.
